I have tested the change that I proposed, and it seems to solve the
problem and, as far as I can tell, no other correction is necessary.
Yet, I don't really understand git-svn well, so I could be wrong.

Reverting 2fe403e will only help users of svn library 1.4, while all
new linux distributives, which will include Git 1.6.0, are going to
install svn library 1.5.0, and if you use svn library 1.5.0, reverting
2fe403e does not fix anything but only add one more bug. Thus, unless
we are going to require to install git-svn only with svn library 1.4,
reverting this change does not seem to be very helpful for most users.

So, I hope my patch is better solution...

Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: fix git svn info to work without arguments

commit 2fe403e7452bd6e1e8232445cf5434ce8f1af973 broke "git-svn info ."
due to replacing '.' with '' in canonicalize_path for the top directory,
while find_file_type_and_diff_status was not corrected.
